Psalms 131 WEB
Summary: A very short Song of Ascents of David expressing deliberate humility: "Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me" (v. 1). Its central image is domestic and tender — "I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child" (v. 2) — a picture of contented rest rather than striving. It closes urging Israel to "hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever" (v. 3).
1Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.
2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forward and forever more.
